    Picked up the M1009 yesterday

    So here is my tale of the M1009 recovery from Redstone Arsenal. We left Houston on Monday afternoon and had an uneventful trip but got to Huntsville very late finally getting into the hotel room at 4 am. We made it DRMO the next morning at 9:30 am though and proceeded to wait for someone to...

    M1009 Leaning

    Spring sag usually makes this happen. Do the leaf springs appear flatter on one side than the other?

    A few questions before I go pick up my M1009

    They told me I had to go on base and even had to give them my friend and my name so that they could clear us at the gate. They told us to use Gate 3 and that they could give us directions at the vehicle inspection point.

    Black out light stickers

    If someone can get me a good picture of one I have lots of contacts in the graphic design field that could make a replica.

    Substance on front floorboards

    If it's a tar like substance they used a similar product in FJ60 Landcruisers (my other project). What the us wagon guys do is get some dry ice and press it against the stuff then smack it with a rubber mallet. This actually freezes the stuff and then breaks it apart. Then you just sweep it...

    A few questions before I go pick up my M1009

    First off again Dave thinks for letting me borrow that tow bar. It's a bigger help than I can say. When you guys tow these things are you just using a regular hitch? I don't need the adjustable one to compensate for height do I? Sorry for all the questions but I figure it's better to ask...

    A few questions before I go pick up my M1009

    I might hit you up when we bring it back. If it doesn't start I'm not going to try and fix it in parking lot I'll just tow it back. The GL description said it starts but the batteries may have drained by now. Of course they are Optimas so that may help me. On the firearm issue we are just...

    A few questions before I go pick up my M1009

    If it was dead I was going to try just jumping the front battery. Or else attaching the cables to the rear battery for a few minutes and then transferring them to the front to try and jump it. That's if it does not start. They also said the trans leaks so that may be a factor in driving it or...

    A few questions before I go pick up my M1009

    I actually called them because I have a concealed handgun license and my buddy is a police officer. They said even he couldn't bring his on post. So we are trying to leave them in bags at the hotel and then just pick them up afterwords.

    A few questions before I go pick up my M1009

    I tried searching and while I found a few posts that were similar nothing that answered my direct questions. Me and my buddy will be going to pick up my M1009 here next week on Tuesday. Hopefully when I get there it's as I hoped and I'll make sure I bring a camera to take pictures. Anyway I...

    I'm nervous

    Redstone Arsenal in AL. Description says it starts and runs. We'll see. It does have Optimas! :-D

    I'm nervous

    They said it runs so I assume it has a key and will start. There was no real way for me to check it out but I will go ahead and throw in a link to pictures so you guys can see what I saw. I plan on bringing some basic tools but I also plan on using a trailer to get it back. I have tires if I...

    I'm nervous

    Disregard my last transmission over! Just checked me email and a paid infull invoice was awaiting me after a short click of a link!
